Shown in registers only as a racer (p: Carl E Recknagel), and competed in 1933 wearing race number 17 [NR12407]. Came in third in the 115-c/i free-for-all. Jean Roché experimented with a C-3, removing the main landing gear and substituting one wheel in the center of the fuselage. The wingtips had small tricycle wheels for launching and for the end of a landing roll. Quite a bit of weight was saved (about 40 pounds) and aerodynamic drag reduced. It was used in a race or two, then returned to conventional configuration. The C-3 was personally owned by Roché and, to my knowledge, is still flying. ( Jerry Griggs 11/17/04)O-58 SEE L-3.
